Absolute nonsense document. Aspirational horse shít.

Schools will stay open at level 5.

They will yeah. :rolleyes:

That nut McConkey may actually be right about Dublin.

Out of the ones I know, about half spent time in hospital. It's real.

What I don't understand about what has been announced is how the very minor measures announced are supposed to reverse the trend in Dublin?

The people having house-parties and birthday-parties are not paying a blind bit of attention to the existing restrictions, so tightening them does nothing. It smacks of doing something for the sake of looking like you are doing something - I wouldn't be happy if I worked in an ICU.

I don't support the "Dublin lockdown" which some seem to be salivating at the thought of, but there has to be something relatively substantial to change the trajectory of cases.

My neighbour works in ICU, married to a garda, both seem perfectly happy to be the ones hosting the parties in our estate

I'm mentally drained trying to follow guidelines and get through this thing, when some people, especially those that you'd think would get it, just don't give a f**k.

TonyMaloney · 15-09-2020 12:47PM

Did they give an indication of when the next review will take place?

caveat emptor · 15-09-2020 12:47PM

It's not often we all agree on something. Might be the first time ever.
This is absolute dog ****.

No plan for large sporting events, no plan for Christmas. This is meant to cover 6 months

We knew is would be bad, this is shambolic

If this is the best they can come up with, they we are all f**ked!

The vast majority of people are not Covid anoraks. I can assure you that Mary, Brigid, Luke, Luke's bestie, Dave and Dave's buddy aren't even going to think about the limits, never mind try to work them out.

First time I've been called an anorak but I agree that most are not going to even think about what household restrictions mean for them and therein lies the problem.

When asked they said "This is a six month plan" yet they said "We will be talking to NEPHET again on Thursday"

ixoy · 15-09-2020 12:49PM

Why is the limit on gatherings outside a home, the same as within a home? No more than six people, from two households, can meet in a house - okay. But the same applies if they meet in an open airy park?!

s1ippy · 15-09-2020 12:49PM

Never in thirteen threads have I seen complete agreement on every single issue. Not even during Golf Gate. Well done government, you've done what I never thought was possible - united the people.

Are golf trips for the elite of FFG exempt from all this?

I know of three cases in one Sandyford based company alone.

seamus · 15-09-2020 12:52PM

FFS.

The plan itself is fine. The levels all make perfect sense, it would be really easy to present this in a way that someone could find out, "What level am I at today, and what can I do?"

As a Dub, I would have no issue with 3 weeks of level 3. It's a small tightening of restrictions, nothing crazy. For 3 weeks.

But they have gone and fvcked this up completely. What is clear, is that Meehaul didn't look at the "2-ish" proposal for Dublin and realise how unclear it would be. "We are introducing a nice, clean warning level system, and then immediately disregarding it".

An absolute failure in leadership.

We have a five-level plan we can work with now. Better late than never.

Time to call a General Election.

Itssoeasy · 15-09-2020 12:52PM

So Clarity was the name of the game apparently but it seems that it’s as clear as mud in parts. Didn’t the government hire a PR firm with the messaging ? I hope they haven’t paid them yet because the small bit I did see on my phone of the press conference I didn’t seem clear. I think this Dublin half way house .5 is another level of confusion that is not helpful.

But we're being strongly advised not to. :rolleyes:

So Dubliners are "strongly advised" to stay in Dublin.

That will put the fear of God into the thousands who will head to Bray this weekend.

How are you if you operate within the exact guidelines our government has said are fine. I'm not encouraging breaking them at all...
